These iconic British brands are a testament to supreme craftsmanship, representing a bygone era of automotive grandeur. However, maintaining these beauties requires exceptional expertise and top-notch spare parts – a realm where IntroCar reigns supreme. Classic Obsession continues to document the restoration journey of Gary Maver's beloved Rolls-Royce Corniche in another detailed video tutorial which we are proud to support!
In this latest video, Gary Mavers (expert enthusiast!) continues his journey of preparing for the Classic Car Restoration show at the NEC. He gives us a glimpse into the intricate world of parts as he next begins work on the steering linkages of his Rolls-Royce Corniche.
Steering joints, rods, and related components are critical to the Corniche's functioning, given the substantial weight of these classic vehicles. Regular maintenance of these parts, along with the power steering box and pump, is crucial to the vehicle's performance. Gary underscores the importance of using high-quality grease and regular tire and tracking checks.
Furthermore, Gary gives viewers a rare insight into the meticulous process of part restoration. From detailing the disassembly, cleaning, and painting of the parts to the essential step of reassembling them correctly - each step is captured meticulously. He also provides a handy tip – always take a photograph of the parts when removing them, to ensure accurate reassembly.
As part of the video, Gary next takes viewers on a tour of IntroCar - his sponsors - and also the leading Rolls-Royce and Bentley parts specialists. This visit offers a rare glimpse into their operations and unyielding commitment to quality and excellence. The company’s parts catalog ranges from 1946 to modern day, and during the tour, John Tupper (MD) showcases their vast inventory covering a plethora of parts for all applications, many otherwise unavailable from Bentley.
